Roberts seems decent? The only other time I saw him it looked like he couldn't run but much better tonight already and presumably against Forest

What we are up against
I wouldn't say that side has anywhere near the quality of Leeds, certainly going forward.
A good Championship squad whereas Rutter, Gnonto, Summerville are PL level

Hartlepool
Palace
Swindon
Rovers 3-2
Man Utd
Watford 0-0 Basso pen save
In that order

Absolutely. A surprisingly arrogant set of supporters given that other than one FA cup in the mid-70s and a football league trophy they've won **** all. Which for a club of their size and given the amount of time they've spent in the top flight is a bit shit.
I've always thought the opposite, that they overachieve for the size of the club always being in the Prem (Coventry kind of level). Nowhere near a Sunderland or a Leeds.

Another cracking home support. COYR
Remember going to Southampton away and they were flying, didn’t lose a game all year at home and we beat them 1-0. You never know
Our home support has largely been the same all season give or take 1,000 between 20,000 to 21,000 with the away fans dictating the actual published attendance between 20,500 and 24,000

The most boring city in the country by far I would say

The least controversial one of these I have ever seen
There's only one or two that are even debatable and it's definitely not 'South West'

Nice!!!
+++++
As it stands we have 9/15 against bottom half and 6/15 against top half left.
If ever a graphic summed us up
Do well against our peers and the truly bad teams , hit a wall against parachute quality and cannot put away defensive lower mid table teams
It's the latter costing us a play off push

In theory if we get a point v Southampton then beat QPR perhaps we can attack the final 13 with some freedom.
A point v Southampton who haven't lost since mid September would be more than useful.
Sykes and Twine hopefully back, Bell and Mehmeti proved a useful Plan B at Nottingham Forest.
Could we even see Atkinson and Naismith in and competing.
A combination of points and places makes it feel rather unlikely though.
It would be very nice to get a statement win against a parachute top three club for once v Southampton if we are looking to be a top half club. Most of the clubs above us have managed it last season (Leicester 0-1 Hull for example) but we hardly ever do

They had Ake, Dias and Akanji as a back 3 with Phillips and Lewis as a pair ahead of them. As your own screenshot shows
At times Lewis would drop in to a full back position. But as explained above, a CM dropping into a back line under pressure doesn't turn a back 4 into a back 5. It's someone dropping deeper when pressure is applied, sometimes that's a consistent instruction, other times it's a necessity.
Sorry but you are mixing up Ake and Lewis there as its Ake further forward in the pic
Man City 100% played a back four against us with Lewis sometimes pushing into central midfield

I've never seen so many people moan as I have since manning took charge. Some of the flack he has took is a joke. New to this standard and club it would always take a bit of time. We have put good performances in the cup and if we can replicate that in the league we will do well. Watford away was outstanding and today was also pretty spot on from the small part i watched ( I was working today)
I really think that people are giving him the flack for decisions that are beyond his control (NP sacking).
We are safe this season, so just sit back, shut the fck up and lets see what happens in August.
EDIT
Oh and if you want to slag me off for daring to see things different, go ahead. I could not give a shit.
If watching City really pisses you off that much, you can always go and watch the sags. You wont be missed.Have you sobered up now BTW?

What a weird post
Manning has barely taken any stick and only very few shouting for him to be sacked , it's all directed at Tinnion and Lansdown
We are far from the play off challengers they hoped for in making the change

Not wanting to kick a man whilst he's down, but surely that accolade had to go to Sam Bell for this season.
Recall Bell had a near identical miss to Wells' at QPR this season (1 min 33 secs in 1st video), before missing an open goal with all the time in the world (2nd video)
Near identical
One a bouncing ball eight yards out with the keeper to beat
The other a smooth square ball 2 yards out, open goal
Yeah
Edit: Sorry I'm wrong to be fair, I was watching the wrong part of the highlights

Give your head a wobble mate - winning a cup tie in a competition we were never going to win or staying in the Prem worth 10’s millions?
I don't think you've got much hope based on what I've seen from you guys

Was a strange purchase for a counter attacking team
